Thermal Imaging in Neonates: a Feasibility Study in Healthy Babies and Babies With Suspected Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN)
This is a study to evaluate thermal imaging as a technology to monitor the normal clearing
of amniotic fluid from healthy newborns and newborns suspected of having a condition called
transient tachypnea of the newborn, or TTN. Thermal images are taken using an imaging device
that attaches to an iPhone. This device, commercially known as FLIR ONE, creates a
non-identifiable image based on the heat pattern of an object. In this case, the object is a
child's chest and back. It does not emit any radiation like an x-ray does.
